Centipede bracelets

I've wanted to have a go at this weave for ages. The simple centipede weave seemed a little boring. I've spiced it up with seed beads as shown in Dylan White's book

It will be on Etsy soon. Colours - you choose.

Materials:
  • Silver/gold plated wire
  • Silver/gold plated clasp
  • Matsuno glas seed beads #6

Restoration work

I have received this bracelet to repair. The fastener on one side came off. (Or course I thought about taking pictures of the repair process after I've repaired it) . This is my first restoration work (you have to start from something)

I had to re thread it. I added some seed beads #11 where bracelet connects to the clasp. This should prevent the thread from fraying.
